I hope I look this good when I am 200...but it is doubtful :-)

Amazing the staying power of this wonderful doll.

I wish we could all have an actual birthday party together for her. :~)

Dolly Blessings said...

Me too, Jan! I hope she has as many admirers in another hundred years. My guess is, there will be many more. :o)

Brenda Savage said...

What lovely dolls! Is the doll really 200 years old? That is amazing.

Brenda Savage said...

OK, I've been doing some reading and now I see that Izannah Walker was a doll maker! Wow, those dolls are beautiful.

Dolly Blessings said...

Hi Brenda! Yes she was and I believe she was the first woman in history to ever receive a patent and it was for her dolls. :o)

Dolly Blessings said...

Brenda, forgot to add that the dolls are new reproductions. Thank you!
Izannah's 200th birthday was last month, so surviving dolls are probably at least 150 years old, give or take a few years. :o)
